Is 'Crypto Justice League' just another recovery scam trying to get my 'upfront fee'?

Hey everyone, I'm still reeling from a crypto investment scam I fell for last year, lost about $7k AUD. It was one of those fake trading platforms, looked super legit at first, with a 'wealth manager' who was really convincing. I reported it to the local police here in Perth and also to Action Fraud (even though I'm in Oz, figured it couldn't hurt). Didn't hear much back, which isn't a huge surprise, I guess. Anyway, a few days ago, I got an email out of the blue from something called 'Crypto Justice League'. They claim they've traced my funds and can recover them, but get this – they want a 'verification fee' of $500 USD upfront. My stomach just dropped when I read it. Is this *another* scam? It feels exactly like the kind of hook a scammer would use. Has anyone heard of them? Or is this just me being paranoid after what happened?
